...love you too!" Radiohead's Thom Yorke confided to the audience at the fifth annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival on Saturday night. Such effusiveness from the English art-rock band's notoriously introspective lead singer was unusual, but then so was the setting: a 700-acre farm outside of Manchester, Tennessee, where 80,000 people had convened for four days of non-stop music, mingling and merriment. Radiohead's appearance was the centerpiece and high point of a wide-ranging festival that included satisfying sets from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Elvis Costello, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah...
...Bonnaroo's 2006 lineup includes Beck, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy, Dr. John and Tom Petty.But thebiggest buzzis about Bonnaroo's Saturday headliner: Radiohead, thereigning English rulers of progressive rock.

Cruz ’06, who characterizes the band’s influences as “mainly” U2, Radiohead, and Pink Floyd. Their sound is alternative/classic rock, with the occasional Santana-inspired Latin flourish. The presence of two lead guitarists (Cruz shares the duties with Nathaniel Naddaff-Hafrey ’08, who is also a Crimson Arts executive) keeps the generally upbeat music soaring—especially live...

Typically only 5 to 15% of a label's artists - the megastars - bring in the cash to pay for the rest. That's why artist development - finding the next Radiohead or Kanye West - is critical. Grooming a new or niche act into superstardom in the digital era requires the same marketing effort it always did.
